Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber said the health care bill was written in a "tortured" way to ensure the Congressional Budget Office didn't score the individual mandate as a tax, even though the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately upheld the mandate as constitutional under Congress' taxing power. "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage," Mr. Gruber said at the time. "And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass." (Associated Press)
